I've built this kit, I had it for almost nine years. Each time I'd go to work work on it I'd remember how much I disliked vacu-formed kits. :?

For a model this scale you'd think it would have a little more detail.

I wish I could see some detail shots of the bottom. It looks like the flap actuator fairings are molded into the fins, but that there aren't any nozzle vanes -- is that right?

Are any panel lines / rivets / access panels molded into the body or fins?

Gburch, there are no panel lines, rivets or access panels on the model and no nozzle vanes.
If you click on the first of my webshots pics and zoom in on the fin you'll see the lack of detail.

If you are gonna have a V-2, why not make something REALLY impressive.
This is 1/6 scale (seen at a 1/6 show):
